This charming Mesoamerican country neighboring Mexico, Belize, Salvador and Honduras is relatively small but has a lot to offer for tourists. Its shores are washed by both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. In Guatemala you can find many Mayan temples, pyramids hidden in the jungle, majestic volcanoes, Indians in the most colorful clothes and incredibly rich history. The country has the ideal climate too, original forests, colonial towns and it offers services for both demanding travelers as well as for backpackers. All this brings more and more visitors to Guatemala, visitors desiring to experience an exotic country, adventure and the mystery of Mayan civilization.
